Spyrius was a LEGO Space subtheme released in 1994 that consisted of 9 sets until it was discontinued in 1996 (with some additional released sets a couple years later). The story line featured a group of spies that frequently stole technology from other factions with their robots. The Spyrius' base was found on one of the outer planets of the galaxies, also called Spyrius. After stealing items from other space factions, they would bring their catches back to their planet, and guard it with their giant robots.
1996 LEGO Sets
1996 marked LEGO’s early digital pivot with the creation of LEGO Media and the launch of LEGO.com, establishing the company’s online presence. LEGO Technic was rebranded for global consistency, and several new themes expanded creative play. Wild West explored frontier adventures, Dark Forest revived outlaw factions within Castle, and Time Cruisers combined multiple eras through time travel. Exploriens emphasized scientific exploration within Space, while Pirates introduced the Imperial Armada, expanding LEGO’s nautical storytelling universe.
